AN “ODD SPELLS " GARDEN. 
1 am employed in the city—hours 8.HO 
to 2'/ hours daily are spent going to 
and from my home in New Jersey. My 
vegetable garden last year was 40 x 100 
feet. The work was done by myself alone 
nights, mornings and holidays. The land 
was part of a cornfield the previous year. 
Some of it was full of Witch grass, which 
had not been much discouraged by its 
former owner. I had no definite plan for 
the garden on the start. The layout devel- 
oned as I went along, and proved so satis¬ 
factory for a family of four with numer¬ 
ous visitors during July and August that 
it will be followed quite closely this sea¬ 
son. No horse was used. A good spad¬ 
ing fork and plenty of elbow oil did the 
plowing, and shook out enough quack 
roots to give the plants a chance. A wheel 
hoe, hand hoe, potato hook and more 
elbow grease did the cultivating. The 
wheel hoe deserves most of the credit, and 
all the attachments were found useful. 
The diagram shows the general layout. 
The land was marked out in rows length¬ 
wise, and everything planted that way. No 
“beds” were made, the idea being to have 
clear sailing for the wheel hoe,, with as 
little hand work as possible. Planting 
cucumbers and squashes in rows is scarce- 
. !y orthodox gardening, and when they be¬ 
gan to spread out that part of the row had 
to be dodged in cultivating, hut with this 
exception I could wheel the whole length 
of the patch. As the soil is rather heavy, 
no planting was done until April 9, when 
Daniel O’Rourke peas and Golden Ban¬ 
tam sweet corn were put in, two rows of 
each, beginning at north side. Other 
plantings were made at intervals of 10 
days, giving a complete succession. The 
first week in May potatoes, early squashes 
and beans were planted and cucumbers 
two weeks later. Varieties found spe¬ 
cially satisfactory were: Corn, Golden 
Bantam, Perry Hybrid, Country Gentle¬ 
man and Thorburn’s Eight-Rowed; pota¬ 
toes, Late Rose and Vermont Gold Coin; 
peas, Daniel O’Rourke, Thomas Laxton, 
Telephone and Champion; beans, Red 
Valentine and Challenger Lima; celery, 
Giant Pascal and New Rose; squashes, 
Summer, Bush Lordhook and Crookneck; 
Winter, Gregory’s Delicious; tomatoes, 
Beefsteak and Nolte’s Early; cucumbers, 
Small Gherkin and White Spine. Radishes 
were planted in the rows of peas and 
other things wherever the soil was suit¬ 
able. This appeared to be just as satis¬ 
factory as having them by themselves. 
Late cabbage and peppers were set be¬ 
tween the rows of potatoes. Turnip seed 
was sown over the whole garden early in 
July, but swarms of grasshoppers in Sep¬ 
tember ruined the crop. Onions, lettuce 
and egg plants in small quantity were 
grown in a detached plot. Wood ashes, 
nitrate of soda and a complete garden 
fertilizer (about 100 pounds of the latter) 
were scattered around the plants at inter¬ 
vals. This garden was no record breaker 
or model. The main point worth em¬ 
phasis is what can be done with a little 
expenditure of time and labor when tilings 
are so arranged that a wheel hoe can be 
used to best advantage. The potato hook 
was found superior to the hand hoe for 
much of the close work abort plants.

Evans Potato Planter 
Insures more barrels per acre, fewer 
missed hills, and more ground planted 
with one man or boy, than any Planter 
on the market. 
Theodore A. Richardson, of Mars Hill, Maine, says: "Tho 
year 1902 was an ‘ot! year’ for large yields of potatoes. 
However, I planted mine with an EVANS and raised 812 
barrels on 8 acres of ground. I don’t think there was 20 
missed hills on the whole piece. The year 1903. from 7 acres, 
I raised 880 barrels. Thi EVANS Is light draft, plants the 
seed just right, and is the best planter made. I know, for I 
have used the others.”
